This Penuel-Sizwe collab is the beginning of something great! Brilliant conversation gents! Part 2 is highly anticipated...
This discussion was second to none, South Africa needs more of these because we are tired of watching Tiktok and seeing black people only dancing and doing embarrassing pranks...I am ecstatic to be a South African...!!! Big up to you guys !!!

I enjoyed your interview with Nkululeko on his platform. It's good to see that several young intellectuals care and want to do something about the state of the country. Good work Sizwe. God Penuel can talk for days.
thank you for the conversation guys.
Great conversation, thank you guys
Beautiful conversation 🙌🙌💯. Please come back Penuel
So pleased to see people like you coming to the fore. We need more SA content.
Love, love, love these conversations … look forward to watching/listening … 🇿🇦🫶😀
What an interesting conversation that stimulates one's mind to be conscious of certain things that happen around us.
I went straight to the end... and I'm satisfied.
I really like penuels way of thinking, he is really intriguing
too dope, i like that it wasnt a continuation of the convo from Penuel's show. We definitely need a part two ASAP
Acedemic achievement very often gives you tunnel vision and you don't get to see the bigger picture. Its great to see this young pair that have seen the light - power to them - may they go from strength to strength🙏

Great conversation guys. I think that the problem with South Africa and indeed the rest of Africa is that the electorate are ignorant on what makes a good election candidate. Consequently, their vote does not bring about change. I think you guys could use your platforms to educate so that we stop voting for demagogues and idealogues but for people with sound ideas that will take us forward and can also be held accountable.

Great convo. Would have liked to hear Penuel speak more of himself & his views, rather than others. Looking forward to part 2
A very important conversation in our lifetime. Thank you gentleman. 🙏🏾
Thank you for this episode 👍
Listened to this on Spotify but had to comeback to YT to leave a comment. Penuel really took a big dump on the president. Looking forward to Part 2.
"Great meeting of minds..... hope you make this a monthly conversation.
Sizwe you've just gained a new fan and subscriber for such great interview with Penuel
Great conversation gents
Can I suggest and I did make this appeal to Penuel-that the appearance in multiple platform its market nich will wane soon. Do consider 1. Doing debates virtually where you disagree aggressively in an innovative way. 2. Book halls - sell tickets and let's have discussion based on pressing challenging subjects
It is really so good to intelligent conversation. Well done for your content keep up the great work it is so important.👏👏👏👏👏👏
Have a chat with Steve, would probably surprise you✌️ the man (warts and all) has lived through a lot of South African history, worth a chat.
Please bring Pen back just to engage more on SA politics
well done guys. loved this interaction.

Brilliant brilliant BRILLIANT
I’m 5 minutes in and I’m sure @penuel the black pan is gonna kill this one. One of the best. I hope you both touch on the new order we are to establish to take SA forward with or without politics. I trust you both have great views on that which may lead a better 2024 election outcome.
Amazing conversation ❤️
Top analysis on Cyril 👌
One of the most wisest and realistic minds on KZread, people like Penuel and Sizwe should be the ones leading us in parliament Thank you for the Interview

Need to see more of this
Love listening to these gents speak. Great conversations always.
Straight facts, that's what we want not polished conversations.
Dope Black Pen, this is amazing. I love your expectations for of these young & youth related political parties, your platforms are part of the tool kit for teaching more people & maintain relations with the youth. Also politicians will learn a lot about the youth’s idea of an ideal SA, versus politicians forcing their perceptions of a better country that excludes the People. You’re responsible of interesting these leaders to maintain consistent contact through your platforms, annoy them to the point where they also take a moment to learn, the evidently don’t know everything. Keep pressure on them to become regular rotations here, this is your business & responsibility. We will appreciate you and your work 🙏🏿🫡
Before watching I have to say that that Afri-forum move gave me a serious heartache, Nevertheless I apologize for labeling you "the white pen". Okay let's watch! ☀️
Interesting conversation, to my fellow viewers please don't forget to like and share.
New subbie 🫶🏽 I know I’ll be learning so much here
I love the honesty... I also love that you spoke to the recklessness that is sometimes passed as honesty on some of these platforms we consume. It's a very fine line I suppose.
My two favourite minds.
Dope and insightful interview 👊🏽
